Bayern Munich stars Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane had an awkward moment during their Champions League tie against Manchester City this week.

The Bavarians drew 1-1 on the night and lost 4-1 on aggregate to the English champions.

During the game, Mane came off the bench to replace Sane, who he is said to have punched in the face after last week's first leg.

Per The Mirror, Mane has been grieving the death of his aunt in Senegal, which led to his uncharacteristic outburst.

He was fined a record amount by Bayern, but put back in the squad by coach Thomas Tuchel.

The Germans now only have the Bundesliga remaining this season as a possible trophy.
